despite its looks this is a very reliable usable working compressor. single phase so will run off a normal household plug socket. it's suffering a little cosmetically as it's spent almost a decade in an outside shelter behind my garage so that it cooled better and also to reduce noise inside my garage. perfectly capable of running air tools or painting cars but can't keep up with the new shot blaster i've just bought, as a result i bought another more powerful compressor and this one is no longer required. perfect working order £100 collected fron dn22 (retford)
